New Beginnings




I wanted to go to the woods or to get some pics of the baby foxes that live behind our house but they have not been out as of yet, and well the woods thing didn't happen. So I took pics of flowers around the house and neighbors yards and this is what I came up with.

Who do you think I am!!!

Who do you think I am?



I can tell you that I am a single mom of two very adventurous boys in their teens, who decided late in life to change her career to something that would allow me the ability to do things for my kids that I would not be able to do if things had stayed as they were. So in the fall of 2004 I embarked on a great journey through college, I have been successful to date obtaining my Associates degree in Computer Information Systems from IVY Tech to which I turned that right around to work on my Bachelors degree at IUPUI in the IU School of Informatics concentrating on Integrated Media.
















It is in my studies that I have surprised myself many times over in my abilities to achieve grades that I never thought possible for myself. It is because of this I am glad that I waited to go to college allowing myself the increased maturity to make the most out of every minute I have in college. My hope is that my experiences will set an example for my boys and they will see that you can achieve what you set out for regardless of the obstacles that you have facing you and that nothing is handed to you, you must go out and get it yourself, on that note the sooner the better. Hopefully they will see that if they put their minds to it they can achieve great things while they are still young and have a full life ahead of them.




While speaking with my Aunt whom I live with she says that:

Michelle is a personable, caring person full of love to give. She is bright, and a hard worker. She has ups and downs in life and is dealing with some really difficult situations right now. I do have to say that her attire is sometimes what I would call risque, but she has a good heart and will do well in life.

Fear Factor

Ok for my fear I am going to divulge one of my current fears and I am looking for the reaction of the class. I am going to reveal some very stressful experiences that I am facing at this time.

I was recently exposed to the HIV virus a number of times by a man that I had dated for several months. He failed to inform me that he was diagnosed with full blown AIDS in 2004. Just so you all know I have tested negative at 3 months but will continue to be tested until one year in November. He actually told me that he was clean in which I had no reason not to trust him at the time. I now realize that I should have made him prove what he was saying. This has done a number on my trust.

I am fearful of the reaction of people and how they will perceive me after hearing the information. My biggest fear is that many will either loose respect for me all together or that they will think very poorly of me as a person.

Although my hope is that since you all are well educated you will not have a predisposed notion of me in a negative way.
